Hello everyone I hope someone can help me with this.

I've created a userform in which I have textboxes containing dates or numbers. When I export these textboxes values to an excel database they are are set to text. It seems to be a frequent problem, but I don't understand how to solve it. I've tried adding "Clng" or "Cdate" in my code, but I only get error 13.

Here is the part of my code where the values are sent to the database (commandbutton1)

VBA Code: 
For i = 1 To 8
      Sheets("Data").Range("Data_Start").Offset(TargetRow, 279 + i).Value = Controls("Text_date_pod_" & i & "_ini") ' podo date
      Next i


For i = 1 To 8
    Sheets("Data").Range("Data_Start").Offset(TargetRow, 287 + i).Value = Controls("Text_result_podo" & i & "_ini") ' podo results numbers
      Next i

and the entire code

VBA Code: 
Option Explicit
Private oldLength As Integer






'date de podométrie

Private Sub Text_date_pod_1_ini_Change()
         
     If (oldLength > Text_date_pod_1_ini.TextLength) Then
         oldLength = Text_date_pod_1_ini.TextLength
         Exit Sub
     End If
    Text_date_pod_1_ini.MaxLength = 10    'nb caractères maxi autorisé dans le textbox mettre 8 si tu veux l'année à 2 chiffres
     If Text_date_pod_1_ini.TextLength = 4 Or Text_date_pod_1_ini.TextLength = 7 Then
    Text_date_pod_1_ini.Text = Text_date_pod_1_ini.Text + "/"
     End If
     oldLength = Text_date_pod_1_ini.TextLength
End Sub

Private Sub Text_date_pod_2_ini_Change()
     If (oldLength > Text_date_pod_2_ini.TextLength) Then
         oldLength = Text_date_pod_2_ini.TextLength
         Exit Sub
     End If
    Text_date_pod_2_ini.MaxLength = 10    'nb caractères maxi autorisé dans le textbox mettre 8 si tu veux l'année à 2 chiffres
     If Text_date_pod_2_ini.TextLength = 4 Or Text_date_pod_2_ini.TextLength = 7 Then

End Sub

Unload Data_UF 'close the userform

I hope you can give me some cues.

Hi,
you could create yourself a function to coerce your textbox string to the required data types

Untested but something like following may help

VBA Code: 
Function GetDataType(ByVal Text As String) As Variant
    If Text Like "##/##/####" And IsDate(Text) Then
            GetDataType = DateValue(Text)
     ElseIf IsNumeric(Text) Then
            GetDataType = Val(Text)
      Else
            GetDataType = Text
      End If
End Function

and then call it as follows

Rich (BB code): 
For i = 1 To 8
      Sheets("Data").Range("Data_Start").Offset(TargetRow, 279 + i).Value = _
        GetDataType(Controls("Text_date_pod_" & i & "_ini").Value) 
    Next i

For most users, the built-in IsNumeric function will suffice for their needs but it does have limitations - if not getting results expected to understand issue, have a read here:https://excelfox.com/forum/showthre...sing-VBA-s-IsNumeric-Function-Read-this-first

You will also note that I have included a date format test in the function ("##/##/####") as IsDate can also throw some incorrect results.

just and idea but hope of some help
